Famous quotes containing the words open and/or space:

    ““Where is the Mississippi panorama
    And the girl who played the piano?

    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

    “For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
    —Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
